1. Nothing
Nothing
And nothingīs where youīre at
When you ainīt got something
Youīll never get it back
Itīs coming on like a drug
The universal power of one
But it donīt mean nothing
If it all comes undone (uh-huh)
Fly away
If you fly away
You might die today
If you fly
Fly
Gimme some love
Gimme some skin
If we ainīt got that then we ainīt got much
And we ainīt got nothing
Gimme some love
Gimme some skin
If we ainīt got that then we ainīt got much
And we ainīt got nothing, nothing
Youīre left with nothing
And nothingīs what youīve got
When you ainīt got no-one, no-one
You could have had the lot
And if itīs over today
Youīll never get that thing you had together, no way
You only get it once
Fly away
If you fly, If you fly
Gimme some love
Gimme some skin
If we ainīt got that then we ainīt got much
And we ainīt got nothing
Gimme some love
Gimme some skin
If we ainīt got that then we ainīt got much
And we ainīt got nothing, nothing
We ainīt got nothing
Our days are numbers
Donīt remember how we felt it
Weīll never feel the same
And forever have to take it for granted
Donīt remember how it started
Gimme some love
So gimme some skin
If we ainīt got that then we ainīt got much
And we ainīt got nothing, nothing
2. Somethingīs Going On
Somethings going on
I donīt know what I did
But it worked out fine again
Got you in my song
It sounds like a hit
Itīs gonna be alright again
Weīre something to celebrate
The more you love, the more you hate
Who cares about us anyway?
Somethingīs going on
Take some time to graduate
Take some time and donīt be late
Who cares about us anyway?
Somethingīs going on
Nothingīs going right
This could go on all night
Gotta raise my game again
Youīre the same as me
I fit you perfectly
Iīll never be the same again
Weīre something to celebrate
The more you love, the more you hate
Who cares about us anyway?
Somethingīs going on
Take some time to graduate
Take some time and donīt be late
Who cares about us anyway?
Somethingīs going on
Oh,
I wanna stare at you
I wanna stare at you all night
I wanna stare at you
Wanna be wearing you all night
Yeah, somethingīs going on!
Weīre something to celebrate
The more you love, the more you hate
Who cares about us anyway?
Somethingīs going on
Take some time to graduate
Take some time and donīt be late
Who cares about us anyway?
Somethingīs going on
Come on!
Somethingīs going on
Oh yeah
Somethingīs going on
3. 6 OīClock On A Tube Stop
6 oīclock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?
To the right thereīs a sign, telling me which way to go
To the left thereīs an old man shouting at the radio
The radioooo-oh
Get out, get out, get out, yeah
6 oīclock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
On my own, so alone, why does everybody look the same?
Thereīs a man with a gold band, but heīs got his eye on mine
There a bomb in a sports bag, could go off at any time - at any time!
When my knees donīt work, I start to shake
I wonīt panic, I wonīt hesitate
Itīs alright, itīs OK
The daylight is that way
We all go the same way
6 Oī12 and Iīm not well, gonna have a heart attack
Everyone is a bum, Iīm gonna get my money back
Over there thereīs a square, talking to his telephone
Then he stares at my hair and suddenly Iīm not alone, Iīm not alone!
Get out, get out, get out yeah
Get out, get out, get out!
When my knees donīt work, I start to shake
I wonīt panic, I wonīt hesitate
Itīs alright, itīs OK
The daylight is that way
Itīs alright, itīs OK
6 oīclock on a tube stop, waiting for a subway train
4. Going Down
Suck it up, weīre going down
30 seconds ītill we smash into the ground
The passengers have lost their smiles
Soon their bodies will be wreckage spread for miles
Iīm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish Iīd took the train
Another day, another flight
Thereīs not a chance of going down, but I just might
So this is it, this is goodbye
And I feel like Iīm gonna lose my mind
Iīm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish Iīd took the train
Everybody has their day and I guess Iīm just the same
But Iīm going nowhere
Everybody has their day, never thought it would be this way
And I really donīt care
Iīm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish Iīd took the train
Weīre going down, weīre out of sky
It sure helps if you can see the funny side
So this is over and out, this is goodbye
And Iīm feeling like Iīm gonna lose my mind
I try to reach her, but sheīs not there
But back home I hope she knows how much I care
I ease the seat back and start to pray
To the same God that puts bombs in cargo bays
5. Took It Away
Five pretty boys for ten shitty years
Five girls next door, Iīm up to my ears
I need a reaction, a new revolution
All over the country, īcos they took it away
They took it away, it canīt be impossible
Theyīre playing the records that they play in hospital
Radio playlist for the terminally ill
You canīt tell theyīre miming ītill youīre over the hill
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
If you put it like that, youīll be dead some day
Set the record straight - they took it all away
They took it away, left us with nothing
Second-hand hits and million misses
Nobody means it, theyīre making up stories
You gotta blame someone, you canīt blame the Tories
I blame myself, I want an easy life
Does it really matter, ainīt worth no suicide
The bigger they come, the harder they fall
Iīm kicking myself for wasting it all
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
If you put it like that, youīll be dead some day
Set the record straight - they took it all away
They took it away, left us with nothing
You suffer the pain of your fingers burning
And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
If you put it like that, youīll be dead some day
Set the record straight - they took it all away
6. Starbucks
Sheīs over it, she cannot take no more yeah
Donīt wanna quit but thatīs a pretty nice door yeah
I got a bed, it really cost a fortune
I go away and itīs too big without you
Youīve got it good, you know how good weīve got it
Youīve got it bad, you know how bad weīve got it
I wouldnīt swap it for a job in Starbucks
Wouldnīt swap it for a job in Starbucks
Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, Iīll miss him when heīs gone
You donīt know what it is, you donīt know what it is yeah
He works on automatic
Mr. Clean but i doubt it
Heīs got to have his say
Who needs him anyway?
Donīt get your kind of music
He lets the others choose it
He thinks you kids are freaks
He wants you on the streets
Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, Iīll miss him when heīs gone
You donīt know what it is, you donīt know what it is yeah
Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, Iīll miss him when heīs gone
You donīt know what it does to me
You donīt know what it means to me
I take it as far as it goes
I donīt wanna know what I know
Itīs too late to talk about it
I ainīt changing any of it
Donīt listen to us
Donīt want your job in Starbucks
Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, you miss it when itīs gone
You donīt know what it is, you donīt know what it is yeah
7. The Springs
Air on the streets, lights on the trees
Eight days a week, singerīs disease
I wanna be where the sun meets the sky
I wanna be there, itīs out of your mind
And I believe in the secrets youīre keeping
I wanna piece of the air when I breathe in
I wanna be the gold underneath the stream
Having my moment, you know what I mean
Ooooh, itīs a blue sky
And the headlights, and the headlines
Itīs a new day, for a new wave
Itīs a perfect moment, oh
Iīm moving out, for a moment in The Springs
Out of my way, Berlin to L.A.
I wanna stay here and never go home again
I wanna be the grass underneath your feet
I wanna be the shops on your high street
And I believe in the secrets youīre keeping
I wanna be your alarm when you sleep in
I wanna be the one you can be around
I wanna be the one who can make you proud
Ooooh, itīs a blue sky
And the headlights, and the headlines
Itīs a new day, for a new wave
Itīs a perfect moment, oh
Iīm moving out, for a moment in The Springs
Get a voice, donīt get a doctor
Thatīs your choice, no-one can stop you
I wanna be the one you can be around
I wanna be the one who can make you proud
Got a job, I donīt got no pension
In it for love - moneyīs too tight to mention
I wanna be in the rockinīest city
I wanna do what I want if it kills me
Have to say, your homeīs where you make it
Itīs OK, I know when you fake it
I wanna be the gum on your train seat
I wanna stand up and walk on my own feet
I wanna be the one you can be around
I wanna be the rock underneath your ground
I wanna be the one who can make you proud
I wanna be the one you can be around
8. Shut Yer Face
So come out fighting, secondīs out
Whoīs the daddy? Well thereīs no doubt
Got on thing on your brain, you all act the same
But youīre alright
īCos you are from Venus and I am from Mars
Youīd like your penis as big as your car
Not so good in the sack - so what, dīya want your money back?!
Yeah, youīre alright
Itīs just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know Iīm right so shut yer face
I bet you think you know the place
Itīs just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know Iīm right so shut yer face
You never listen anyway
Itīs the way that youīre scratching your balls when you walk
You wait till Iīm watching the football - and then you talk!
Youīre never wrong, so bring it on
īCos youīre alright
īCos I are from Venus and you am from Mars
You buy me panties that donīt match my bras
Why so long in the bathroom? Baby I have to
Then itīs alright
Itīs just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know Iīm right so shut yer face
I bet you think you know the place
Itīs just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know Iīm right so shut yer face
You never listen anyway
Smacking you, whacking you, flat out attacking you
Beating you down with my words over you
Youīre too hot to handle - maybe youīre mental
But youīre alright
Itīs just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know Iīm right so shut yer face
I bet you think you know the place
Itīs just as far as you can go, without going back again
Yeah, you know Iīm right so shut yer face
You never listen anyway
9. Pacific Ocean Blue
Itīs OK to beat the living shit from the drum kit
Itīs OK to take what you donīt have, if you want it
Thatīs alright, thatīs your way
Waterīs cold, December, Del Ray
Through those eyes, made me cry
And the summer is forever
Itīs the endless summer
And itīs not about your girlfriend
And itīs not about your boyfriend
And Iīm not about to lose it over you
Remember what I told ya
The night in California
And Iīm all about Pacific Ocean Blue
Itīs OK to leave your jacket on in the ocean
Itīs OK to sing the saddest song, Vibrations
Thanks a lot, you can be
What you want, honestly
Magic days, golden nights
And the summer is forever
Itīs the endless summer
And itīs not about your girlfriend
And itīs not about your boyfriend
And Iīm not about to lose it over you
Remember what I told ya
The night in California
And Iīm all about Pacific Ocean Blue
I donīt need no explanation
All I got is best intentions
I got fears, too much to mention
Youīre not there, when Iīm scared, terrified
Jump right in, the waterīs fine
10. The Distance
We go the distance till thereīs nowhere left to go
Itīs complicated, donīt you hate what youīve become? Oh yeah!
Running out of luck
Trying to keep it punk
You can only let yourself down
Afraid of what you know
A square shape in a round hole
You know, it goes in tight,
Goes in tight
We go the distance till thereīs nowhere left to go
Itīs complicated, donīt you hate what youīve become?
Youīre running out of time
Youīre never going nowhere
The best is all behind you
Youīre spending your cash like a man with no hands
Keepinī it real like your favourite bands
If they donīt try
Then we donīt buy, we donīt buy
Itīs the distance, itīs the distance
Itīs the distance, the position between me and you
So stand up, so get up
We go the distance till thereīs nowhere left to go
Itīs complicated, donīt you hate what youīve become? Oh yeah! Come on!
Itīs the distance, itīs the distance
Itīs the distance, the position between me and you
So stand up, so get up
Itīs the distance, itīs the distance
Itīs the distance, the position between me and you
So stand up, so get up
Yeah, come on!
We go the distance till thereīs nowhere left to go
Itīs complicated, donīt you hate what youīve become? Oh yeah! Come on!
So stand up, so get up
Stand up
11. W.D.Y.C.A.I. (Why Donīt You Cry About It)
Iīm so tired, I need sleep
Iīm talking to my pillow case, whatīs wrong with me?
I make mistakes, but themīs the breaks
Iīm crying out for anyone to come and rescue me
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you canīt
You canīt get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why donīt you cry about it?
Lifeīs a bitch, and so am I
If you want it bad enough, thereīs lots of easy ways to die
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you canīt
You canīt get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why donīt you cry about it?
Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)
Talk about a new world
Just not today
Hey there, why you look so sad?
What made you so mad that you canīt
You canīt get over it
Hey there, why you look so hurt?
You get what you deserve, you know, here we go
Why donīt you, why canīt you
So tough when no-one knows you
No homies, so lonely
Why donīt you cry about it now?
12. Hi-Fi Serious
ight back at you, record three
Makes you wish that you were me
īCos we got no job for life
Build īem up like Frank Lloyd Wright
No two days turn out the same
Only sleeping on the plane
Not exactly Monkey days
Cīmon, rock it up, from the back to the front, go!
So get your, so get your ears on
īCos Iīm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
Iīm serious, so come on
So get your, so get your ears on
īCos Iīm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
Iīm serious, bring it on!
Banshee wailing from my throat
Only dogs can hear the notes
Be myself to pay the bills
From L.A. to Skillmans Hill
Weīve done time for stealing shows
There ainīt nothing we donīt know
Plug us in and watch us go!
Cīmon, rock it up, weīre all about to jump from the back to the front, go!
So get your, so get your ears on
īCos Iīm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
Iīm serious, so come on
So get your, so get your ears on
īCos Iīm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
Iīm serious, bring it on!
Hot, like the desert sky
Youīre so cool on the inside
You hate being recognised
Going off on outside
Gotta get up, gotta get out, picking it up, gotta get up, gotta get out
Got a fever and I want to clear my lungs!
Coming round for one more go
Way too loud for radio
Mosh pit full of casualties
OAPīs get in for free
Time to even out the score
Thought weīd done enough before
Now weīre kicking down your door
Come on, rock it up, to the back
Measure twice, cut it once
Clear the room, weīre barbequeing up for lunch!
So get your, so get your ears on
īCos Iīm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
Iīm serious, so come on
So get your, so get your ears on
īCos Iīm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
Iīm serious, bring it on!
So get your, so get your ears on
īCos Iīm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
Iīm serious, so come on
So get your, so get your ears on
īCos Iīm Hi-Fi, Hi-Fi
Iīm serious, bring it on!
